Our Take

Ah, Martin & Eliza Carthy, the dynamic father-daughter duo that never fails to surprise and delight with their eclectic folk sound. In their latest album, "The Moral of the Elephant," the pair takes us on a whimsical journey through traditional tunes and original compositions that showcase their incredible talent and undeniable chemistry. From the captivating opening track "The Elephant's Tale," with its mesmerizing blend of Martin's masterful guitar picking and Eliza's soulful vocals, to the haunting ballad "The Ghost of Gold," which highlights their ability to convey emotion with just a few simple notes, every song on this album is a treat for the ears. But what truly sets "The Moral of the Elephant" apart is the Carthys' ability to infuse each track with a playful sense of storytelling that keeps listeners eagerly anticipating what comes next. Whether it's the rollicking sea shanty "Fifty Little Turtles" or the melancholic ode to lost love "The Willow Tree," Martin & Eliza Carthy create a vibrant tapestry of sound that is as engaging as it is enchanting. So, if you're in the mood for some folk music that is equal parts tradition and innovation, look no further than "The Moral of the Elephant." With its infectious melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and irresistible charm, this album is sure to become a firm favourite in any folk music lover's collection. Don't miss out on this gem - trust us, it's worth every penny.
